2006 Jetta TDI 5-speed with 324K miles in Florida

[IndyIan]

It seems to have been maintained perfectly, with even the transmission being opened up to replace the syncros. If it was near me for $3k I'd sure have a look at it anyways. I borrowed the same car with the automatic and they are a decent car to commute in for sure.

Nice car. Seems problem free given the mileage. My ‘rents used to have a Silver 2006. Bought it without knowing the color since it was the first "new Jetta" (I think that was VW's sales line?) at the dealer and dad needed a 47 mpg car. I love the way they sound.

These cars can easily bring his asking price. You can see it has been meticulously maintained. Blue book is well over his asking price and they aren’t for sale anymore sadly. GLWS!

 

[Razorsharpe]

Yeah-that's a $1000 car AT BEST.

Blue book is $4000, people want these since they are no longer sold. You are clueless. Diesel miles are not equal to petrol miles.

 

[Brons2]

wonder if he sold it.

 

[wemay]

Looks in great shape. If i was in the market, i would pay $3K for it. At least i know it wasn't just an appliance to you and was well cared for.

Really? The CV joints/ball joints, etc., arre not going to wear like a gas motor? Other suspension components?

Don't know why I'm not getting email notification of replies, but I drove it 1,000 miles down to my place in Florida back in July. 15 hours in 95 degree heat and getting 65 mpg. Will fly down next month and drive it back home and resume selling.

Learn how to turn a wrench so easy repairs don’t scare you or just move along when you have nothing to contribute.

There is nothing easy about replacing some suspension components. Maybe to you...generally it's not easy. I see replacing parts must be something you have the time for---based on the miles you have on your vehicles.

Personally spending evenings or Saturdays wrenching is not something I find enjoyable. I'd rather be in my travel trailer somewhere or interacting with my grandkids.

Here are milne

No wrenching needed.

Point being you were being a man unit to the OP.

No time to wrench, but plenty of time to troll. Oh, okay.

the miles are on the whole car.

 

[Hootbro]

Panty twisting aside by some, I think the OP knows his market and plays the long game.

 

[JT20]

That is a hilariously well photographed $3,000 car! I love it!

Motivated seller.

Solid car..

I'm driving it 1,000 miles to Florida on July 4th weekend and staying until the 10th. 180 pictures and details on a webpage at: https://sites.google.com/site/atikovi2019/home/2006-vw-jetta-tdi-5-speed Priced at $3,000 firm.

I think I remember the background, that house. You had a few other cars you were selling with that background and everyone here said they were over priced. I forgot the cars though but I remember the house.

 

[atikovi]

and everyone here said they were over priced.

Apparently not as they all sold.

 

[simple_gifts]

Cool. Realistically this car is like a Mickey Mantle rookie card; A lot of people aren't going to buy one if it is priced @ 50K, except you don't need to convince everyone, you just need to convince one.

Give Atkovi some credit. I was one who questioned some of his deals early on, but he's been buying and flipping cars for awhile now. He takes the time to post his vehicles on BITOG with decent descriptions and nice photos. He wouldn't keep doing this if he was losing money. So those who say things like "it's way overpriced" or "that's only a $300 car" are off base. Every vehicle has a price for the right buyer.

Keep up the good work, Atkovi.
